While I’m proud of my professional life as editor of a legal trade magazine, aside from a few nods to working in news, I try not to mention work here or blog there. But a story I edited this week — and the impending cinematic thunderkick of “Avengers: Infinity War” dropping today — is too good to pass up.

Reporter David Thomas talked to lawyers to ask how much deep legal muck a real-life superhero would be in.

Among the things Dave learned:

Police could use illegally obtained evidence from Spider-Man but not from Captain America.

Iron Man breaks export control law every time he leaves the country.

Dormammu’s best recourse against Doctor Strange is in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

You could sue both Diamondbackand Luke Cage for trashing your van.

Loki’s scepter is likely a UN-protected item of cultural significance.
